The final step is to install an Ethernet protection device, ground it, and connect the Ethernet cables and power line.
1. Attach the Ethernet protection device to the building at the entry point of the shielded Ethernet cable from the SmartPath AP
(LWN602HA) inside the building.
2. Make the following connections, as shown in Figure 13:
• Ground the device by running a wire from the grounding stud to a grounded object, such as a water pipe, gas pipe, or ground-
ing rod.
• Connect the device to the power supply and connect that to a power source.
• Connect the shielded Ethernet cable from the SmartPath AP (LWN602HA) to the port labeled Data & Power, and connect
another Ethernet cable from the port labeled Data to the network.
NOTE: When the SmartPath AP (LWN602HA) connects to the network through the Ethernet protection device, it can support only
10/100-Mbps speeds although it might autonegotiate 1-Gbps speed. Therefore, manually set the speed for eth0 on the
SmartPath AP and the connecting port on the adjacent switch to 100 Mbps and set the transmission type as full duplex.
For the SmartPath AP, make a console connection and enter these commands:
interface eth0 speed 100 … interface eth0 duplex full
